IMPROVED COTTON COMPRISING
Some Interesting Points About the
New Method.

Some Interesting Points About the
New Method.
Sometime ago the MORNING NEWS made
a brief ailusion to the way of COMPRISING
Fcotton in India In order to make the
public more familiar with the process, the
I following facts are given, showing the
merits of the so-called "NFatson's Cyclone
Presses manufactured by MeSsrs. Fawcett.
Preston 81 Co, of Liverpool, England.
Each bale before being compressed passes
Through u cleaner or bcater, which not only
cleanses the cotton thoroughly, but also
greatly improves the quality. All com
pressed bales are of a uniform size in length
and width.
There are no claims to be settled with
buyers for falsely packed, water packed
cotton.
The bales are completely covered with
bagging, like bale Of dry goods, therefore
no loss of weight in transit, either by theft
or otherwise and also less danger from fire.
Each bale has twelve hoops, weighing no
more than our usual bands.
The carrying capacity of a ship is in
creased by about 80 per cent. owing to the
uniform size of the bales.
Stevedol1ng expenses are greatly reduced,
rs the bales can be slowed away by hand
like bric1s, thus doing away with the
present screwing process.
Time Of loading and unloading is greatly
reduced.
There is great saving TO railroads, as u
box car Of 1900 pounds capacity can easily
carry eighty bales.
Although III India all bales arc compressed
Of the same weight, viz: 400 pounds, there
would be no difficulty III COMPRISING the
American bales in their original package,
just as they are received by the buyers. Tn,
length and width, however, would be the
same, with only q slight variation of til,
thickness OF the bales, according to theil
weights
The Cyclone presses are extensively use
m India and Egypt, and have given genera
satisfaction. Why shouldn't this method OF
comprising meet with favor in this coun

DEMOCRATIC GAINS IN IOWA.

Special Dispatch to the NEW DOMINION.
WHEELIYG, Nov. Games, repub-
lican is reelected Governor of Mass
achusetts by an increased plurality
His plurality may reach 1900. The
Democrats lose heavily in Boston.
In New York the Democrats have
gained a glorious victory. Kings
county complete including Brooklyn
gives Grant, republican 45, 76l Cook
democrat $4,000; George 1926. In
New York city Cook has clear ma
jority over Grant Of $4,000. Below
Harlan Bridge the democratic plu-
rality is not less than $4,000, max
Cooks election certain by not less
than $4,000 possibly $4,000.
The Fellows-Nicholl contest is
closer, though Fellows is leading
and the Democrats claim his election
by from 10000 to $4,000.
Returns from Ohio show republi-
can gains in Cincinnati, Cleveland
and Toledo. The labor vote drew
heavily from the Democrats. One
hundred and seventeen voting pre-
cincts show net republican gain of
1928 giving Foraker plurality of
$685.. This would indicate his cleo
ton by from 10000 to $4,000
The farming counties of Ohio
show heavy democratic gains that
will cut down Foraker's plurality
and possibly defeat him.
Virginia and Maryland are safely
democratic. Democrats carry Lynch
burg by $500 a gain of 900.
The Republicans gain one mem

Pennsylvania is Republican by a
